Re: curious about closed hold clarinet

If you play sax or oboe/cor regularly (as well as alto, basset horn or bass clarinet), playing a plateau clarinet doesn't feel as strange as it does if you've come to it straight from playing a ring key/open hole clarinet.

Have to admit when I played an old Jacques Albert and a more recent Vito plateau clarinet, I prefer the feel of the keywork compared to a ring key clarinet - it felt far more secure, precise and positive to play.
